- Synopsis:
- squit <server|mask> <comment>
-
- Description:
- This command is used to send a server quit command to another server.
- Due to the way some servers present themselves on the network, a
- wildcard mask may be specified for the server to SQUIT. This is
- generally used in conjunction with CONNECT, for rerouting the network.
-
- This command should never ever be used for personal vendettas!
-
- Examples:
- To squit irc.foo.com:
- /squit irc.foo.com rerouting
-
- To squit all of Australia, which is hidden behind a server mask:
- /squit *.au why is iceland routing aus?
-
- See Also:
- connect(3)
-
- Restrictions:
- This command is limited to irc operators, for reasons that should be
- obvious.
-
- Other Notes:
- Care must be taken when SQUITing a server mask. The local server will
- send the SQUIT to the first server it finds that matches the mask, and
- it may not be the intended server if the mask is too general. It is
- best to avoid masks when possible.
